Android and chromeos are as much Linux as macOS and iOS are FreeBSD

Android and ChromeOS are more Linux than MacOS and iOS are a FreeBSD. Apple closed the source quite a while ago and they have their own fork which I bet is very far away from the original now.

But don't they have to publish the changes they make the to kernel and or GNU-Tools since they distribute the compiled versions of it (License Wise)?

Furthermore I remember seeing some activity at their GitHub page for the/some kernel but I may be mistaken.

FreeBSD is licenced under BSD licence, they don't have to do shit and they don't. Windows is also using a lot of BSD code and you'll never see the sources.
